Bionic Commando is a platform game where you play the role of Rad in his battle against the BADDS to rescue Super Joe and stop their evil empire from taking over the world. Rather than allow the player to jump, all vertical movements must be made using your trusty bionic arm. This creates a difficult learning curve, but once arm manipulation is learned, the game becomes relatively easy. Each area ends with a boss battle to win a new power up item.

Text
Bionic Commando has a very strange table. The letters are jumbled up in a bizarre offset, most likely due to poor translation (which the game's text also suffers from). There are two files, one for the title screen the other for the game.
